My name is Heather and I'm 35 years young. I have a 15 year old son who occasionally drives me up a wall. He DOES help with some of the technical aspects of cleaning up photos and things of that nature.

I started taking pictures about six years ago. At that time, it was more to have visual memories of the things we did. My son and I lived on the east coast and my family was back in Kansas. I wanted them to see and experience the things that we did.

Two years ago, I started seriously studying photography. I look at other people's pictures as well as read - a LOT. I have learned much from my methods but also know it is always good to kibitz with others who enjoy this hobby.

Currently, I am exploring my options for making this more than a hobby.
